Adding an ESX(i) host

When adding an ESX(i) host to vCenter Server, the specified root credentials are used temporarily for the purpose of adding the host only. Once the host is added, vCenter establishes its own set of credentials (vpxuser + 32-character complex password) for host communication. This allows the root password on hosts to be changed regularly (a security best practice) without disrupting vCenter management of the host.
